I’ m not the photographer who is going to take over your day.
I’ve been photographing weddings for over 14 years, and in that time, I’ve learned something that matters more than any piece of gear or current trend. The couples who look the happiest in their photos are the ones who were the most relaxed and felt like they had time to connect with each other and the people closest to them.
I try to create that every single time.
Lazy Saturday mornings are the best!
The Personal Stuff
I’m a girl-dad and a semi-retired musician, performances are limited to an acoustic guitar in front of my kids. I’m a huge Star Wars fanatic (talk nerdy to me), coffee addict, IPA connoisseur. I’m married to someone much smarter and far more adventurous than myself.
We got married in New Orleans in 2016 and I still remember the rush of the day, and how there were moments I wish we could have slowed down. The day moved a lot faster than I expected.
That probably has a lot to do with the way I show up to a wedding. I remember what it’s like to be on the other side of the camera.
My approach is pretty simple. Before the wedding, we talk — not just about timelines and shot lists, but about what actually matters to you. Who are the people you want me to pay attention to? What moments are you most afraid of missing? What does a good day look like for you?
On the day itself, I build a timeline that keeps things moving and then I get out of the way. I’m watching for the stuff that doesn’t make it onto any shot list. The look. The laugh. The moment between the moments.
After the wedding, we’ll sit down together for a reveal session where I walk you through the highlights. That part never gets old for me.
I work with a small number of couples each year on purpose. Not because I’m trying to seem exclusive, but because I think the work is better when I’m fully present for every wedding I shoot.
If you want someone who blends in, keeps the day moving, and hands you a gallery that actually looks and feels like your wedding, we’re probably a good fit. If you want a lot of formal posed portraits and a shot-list-first approach, I’m probably not your person — and I’d rather tell you that now than have us both find out on your wedding day.
LET’S CONNECT
Dates book up, but there’s no pressure here. If any of this sounds like you, reach out and we’ll find a time to talk. No obligation either way.
